Billboard #1s

Continuing the theme of new things in Student Ministry this year, we’ve added a new series to the Crossroads Sunday School:

The Sunday before the series starts, we’ll be voting on some of the top songs at Billboard’s music charts. The highest vote-getter will be the basis for our lesson the following week. The plan is to look at popular culture and see what spiritual issues it raises and what the Bible says about those things. Most of our students are listening to this music, so we want to explore it with them and teach the skills to identify those spiritual issues and bring them back to the Scriptures on their own.

I love that song! I have it on my ipod – twice – by all the popular artist. Susan wanted it at our wedding. Feel free to borrow my copies any time. Just make sure you give it back. Our anniversary is coming up.

For as awful as it is, I can’t get that silly little song out of my head. Isn’t that a sign of effective advertising?!
It has a very PBS kiddie-show qualifty to it. Maybe they could use it on Sesame Street!

Idea for Crossroads is great – there are lots of lessons (good and bad) that we can learn from watching our culture and linking that to Scripture. It’s what Jesus himself did with parables. Great thought.

As for the video clip: I need to see what’s on either side of that…cause that CAN’T be real. It has to be some kind of parody…it just has to be… 🙂
